THE CONVENTION,

The city Democratic Convention. which
met at the Court House yesterday, wa.
composed Of good and true men who wer,
governed solely by a desire to put an III
s1ceptionable ticket in the field. g How vel
they succeeded is shown by the names o
the nominees for the various Offices. Tn.
proceedings were harmonious, balloting.
being confined only to three offices. and
the result Of these left no sting behind them,
For while there were delegates who cast
their ballots for other candidates they low.
ally accepted the decision OF the Conven.
ton 40 fnal and are prepared to work and
vote Tor those who received the nonina-
ton.
This is their duty as Democrats. The dele.
gates were elected by the Democracy Of the
city. They were empowered t. select a ticket
for the sufrases OF the people. They did
this to the best Of their ability. and Demo-
Gratis will stand by the work Of their repre-
~esntatives. They understand the import
ance OF preserving the discipline, unity and
morale Of the party by an unqualified en-
dorsement OF the nominees of the conven.
ton. That body presents a ticket Of which
no Democrat need feel ashamed. and which
the people, without regard to party. can
eonseientiously and heartily support. 1t
viii bear the closest scrutiny. The conven.
ton did is work we'll. Let the Democrats
Of the city do theirs and evey man upon i.
will b. elected.

Literally Scared fo Death.

Some curious incidents drift to the surface
long after the events of which they were a
part nave passed by. Thus l was talking the
other day with Mr.. Sadler, the big pork
packer OF Fulton street, when something was
said about the Pittsburg riots, which brought
to his min the queer case Of a Pittsburg
stockman named Glass. Glass was an old
man and at the time Of the riots was afflicted
with a combination Of asthma, consumption
and rheumatism There did not seem to be
enough blood in his veins to warrant the BE-
Lief that he had a heart One Of his peculiar
titles was that he always carried a great
leather p~ocketbook eight or ten inches in
length in the inside pocket Of his waistcoat.
he was so fearful of taking cold that after
he had removed it from his pocket for any
purpose he never put it back without warm.

For over a quarter Of a century it had been

upon the scene of devastation there. 1t was
q horrible sight, not Only on account of the
dead men lying around, but the general ruin
